But do you know what, 63 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: Emma was not a Wiggle when our kids we. 64 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: Had Greg the Yellow Wiggle and our kids were Wigglers. 65 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: I love that, and that was devastating with left. 66 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 3: In fact, our eldest because she went to a Wiggle. 67 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 3: I took her to a Wiggles concert. The moshpit was crazy, 68 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 3: Red Car I remember actually going down to the front 69 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 3: of the. 70 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: Fruit salad, yummy, yummy. 71 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 3: We should ask Siri what song that is and she 72 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 3: would know whether Siri knows what's going on here. But 73 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 3: I remember going to a Wiggles concert with Greg the 74 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: Yellow Wiggle and Chanel, our eldest, who's now in her twenties. 75 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 3: She was I think she was a teenager when he 76 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: quit the Wiggles, and she was distraught when that happened. 77 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 3: I remember she was like, not not fully properly distraught, destroyed, 78 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: but she was genuinely kind of going, well, it's really 79 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: the end of an era. This is a really big thing. 80 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 3: Greg Yellow Wiggle is gone, and now there's a whole 81 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 3: new generation of kids who were saying, but what about 82 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 3: Emma Wiggle? Was she gone? 83 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: So I guess for any parents out there who are 84 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: ruggling with a three year. 85 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 3: Old, how do I deal with my three year old's 86 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 3: grief over Amma Wiggle not. 87 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: Being I think understanding the background makes it a lot 88 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: easier to kind of, you know, work through the process 89 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: for everybody. Emma has had some health challenges, but she 90 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: was also dealing with the fact that she was traveling 91 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 2: and on tour so much and missing out on experiences 92 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 2: with her family, And so when COVID hit, she actually 93 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: had a chance to kind of think about what was 94 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: more important, and family came first. So she's taken a 95 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: step back from her wiggling wiggling, Yes, and she's going 96 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 2: back home to finish her PhD and hang with her kids. 97 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: She's going to do a PhD. 98 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: I think she's halfway through it. 99 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's my I had no idea. Do you 100 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 3: have any Wiggles memories other than listening to them incessantly 101 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: in the car with our kids. 102 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: Well, I actually knew the Wiggles way before we had kids. 103 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: I went and stay with some friends whose children loved. 104 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 3: The Wiggles really, and I was. 105 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: About fourteen, and they had it on repeat, NonStop. 106 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 3: Going for that long. Yes, wow, yes, that's extraordinary. 107 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: And so they had they had all of these songs. 108 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: That's how I know fruit salad. And I had to 109 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: do a bus trip with a whole heap of my 110 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: teenage friends and all I was singing the whole way 111 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: and the buns were all these different Wiggles songs, and 112 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 2: I got mocked. 113 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, we need to talk about something else that's 114 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: happened in celebrity world. But it's not because of the 115 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 3: fact that it's in celebrity world. It's because of the 116 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: conversation that comes from it. Milacunas is marriage to Ashton Kocher. 117 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: They've been together for I don't know, since I think. 118 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: It's like twenty fifteen. 119 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 3: There we go.

I actually think 173 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 3: teaching your kids that is going to be the easiest 174 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: way forward. 175 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 2: Okay, But what happens if they're in the classroom, so 176 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: they're actually seeing this kid every day. 177 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 3: Well, again, we're talking about kids under the age of 178 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 3: five or six, so they're not in a classroom situation, 179 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 3: but they might be in a preschool or kindergarten kind 180 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 3: of situation. And if that's the case, you teach them 181 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: to go and tell the teacher, go and talk to 182 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 3: the teacher about it and get adult involvement. And the 183 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: reason for this is little kids don't actually have the skills, 184 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 3: Like you can't expect a six year old to have 185 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 3: a level of social skill capability that many adults don't 186 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 3: even have. You think about what adults do when they're 187 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 3: on road rage or when they're getting pushed in line somewhere. 188 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: Some adults don't know how to navigate the bullies, the 189 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 3: people who have that entitlement mentality. If adults can't do it, 190 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 3: we can't expect a four year old or maybe even 191 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: a seven year old to be able to do that. 192 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 2: Last week on the Doctor's Desk, we talked about theory 193 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: of mind. 194 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 3: I've just got to interrupt you. As soon as you 195 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 3: said the Doctor's Desk. You're in the car with the 196 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 3: kids listening to the podcast, and they were like, most 197 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: boring podcast ever, Why do we have to listen to 198 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: all this science stuff? Just do a normal podcast. Stop 199 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 3: the doctor. They've got that from you. 200 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 2: The background is that they were actually at each other 201 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 2: and I actually put that on to lull limit to. 202 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: This right anyway, we went beautiful. We talked about theory 203 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 3: of mind on the Doctor's Desk podcast episode last. 204 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 2: Week and just the acknowledgment that there's this expectation on 205 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: our children to develop faster than they're capable. And I 206 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: think this situation highlights again just this unrealistic expectation that 207 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: we have of our children that they are capable of 208 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: actually managing the situation at such a young age. 209 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 3: They're not so from a social point of view, from 210 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 3: a developmental point of view, they don't have that capacity 211 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 3: to do it. It's kind of like walking up to 212 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: a two year old and saying, why aren't you taller? 213 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 3: Can you just hurry up and grow already? You need 214 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 3: to fulfill your high potential and you need to do 215 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 3: it now. But developmentally, they're going to take the next 216 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 3: twelve to fifteen years to be able to get to 217 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 3: their high potential. And it's the same when it comes 218 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 3: to their social capacity. So my number one piece of 219 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 3: advice would just be to teach them to leave the 220 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: situation or go and get out at help or both 221 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 3: and do that no knowing that they don't have the 222 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 3: capacity to do it themselves most of. 223 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: The time, and I think outside of that, there's just 224 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 2: an acknowledgment that words are important, you know, So if 225 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 2: you've got a child who's pushing you, you can say 226 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 2: very clearly, stop it, stop it, or I don't like that. 227 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 2: So I would actually suggest they use their words first. 228 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, radio, okay. Well I had that written down 229 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 3: as a second suggestion, but then I crossed it off. 230 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 3: And the reason that I crossed it off is because 231 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 3: you know what it's like, once you're emotional, it's really 232 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: hard to find the words that you want to use. 233 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: And I tell parents all the time. 234 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 2: And that's why it's just it's a really clear stop 235 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: it or I don't like it, and. 236 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 3: That's about all you're going to get. 237 00:10:59,200 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: That's right. 238 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: It's really hard for a four year old or even 239 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 3: a twelve year old to look at the person who's 240 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: antagonizing them and say, right now, I'm feeling really frustrated 241 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 3: with the way that you're treating me. Of course not 242 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 3: they're not going to say that. 243 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: Even Adams crudeness. Crudeness would suggest stop it or I 244 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: don't like that. They're really really simple, they're very very clear. 245 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 2: They don't need to go into any more detail. And 246 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: if there's no response from that, then walk away. And 247 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: if there's no response from that, then get an adult 248 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 2: and you can. 249 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 3: Actually practice that stuff with your kids as well. Let 250 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 3: them know, hey, if somebody does this, here's what to say. 251 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: Say it to me. 252 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: Now. 253 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 2: If they have a sibling in their house, they will 254 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 2: have plenty of opportunities to practice good point. 255 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 3: Okay, so let's wrap this up with a take home message. 256 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 3: Take home message number one from today's podcast, don't ask 257 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 3: your kids, but bay the kids, whether you can see 258 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 3: that it or not. Take our message number two, don't 259 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 3: ask Siri what the song is because Siri won't know. 260 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 3: I don't know what song this is. I can't believe 261 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 3: you did that. Take home message number three. Your kids. 262 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 3: You know, if they're getting into conflict and you're around, 263 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 3: just leave them be, watch them sort it out. They'll 264 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 3: actually figure it out and they'll learn good lessons. But 265 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 3: more than anything, just teach them to go and get 266 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 3: out of help if they're stuck, because they're too little 267 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 3: to figure it out. Once they're bigger, there are skills 268 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 3: that you can teach them, but when they're. 269 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: Little, just don't teach them to bop someone on the nose. 270 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: Or bop them anywhere. Good point. Hey, we really hope 271 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: that you've enjoyed today's podcast.
